South African Education in Worldnews
Matriculant Mobile Initiative
This year our Matriculants will connect with international coaches in the UK, the US and Sweden to prepare them for their final matric exam at the end of 2010.
It is an important year for our country as we host the World Cup Soccer. We want to start a legacy in this year that put our learners well on the way to becoming the kind of citizens that will not only make us proud but give them the sense that they have something of value to offer this our South Africa.
The Matriculant Mobile Initiative is our small step toward helping them achieve just that.
Sponsored by the Swedish-based Learning Academy Worldwide and the UK-based Mobile Learning giant, Tribal, the initiative starts in February 2010 where coaches from the UK will show our teachers how they can engage our learners in participatory learning through the use of Mobile phones.
It sounds revolutionary and maybe even unacceptable in the ears of the skeptics. But we believe that there is a place for these new technologies in our schools - combined with sound pedagogy and careful planning, these mobile devices can become useful in the hands of our learners.
Join us on this exciting journey for 2010.
